World Cup Round of 16 Expert Picks

Brazil -189 vs Mexico +693
Draw +318
Total 2 ½ Over -+104/Under -119

After a 1-1 draw with Switzerland, Brazil got it together big time in the Group Stage. They dominated Costa Rica 2 to 0 before beating a solid Serbian squad 2 to 0. Brazil has now outscored their last couple of opponents 4 to nothing.

How surprising is Japan? The Japanese secured a spot in the knockout stage by upsetting both Colombia and Poland. The Japanese are well-suited to give Belgium a battle…for about 20 minutes.

Belgium is the most impressive squad in this year’s World Cup. They’ve dominated in every match available. They weren’t keyed up against England in their final Group Stage game. They still managed to beat the English 1 to 0.

Sweden had a draw with Germany in group play if not for a late goal. If Sweden had drawn with Germany, they might have gone 2-0-1 in group play. The Swedes are ultra-talented. It’s surprising they’re not the favorites.

Switzerland is a decent soccer team. They did draw with Brazil in their first World Cup match. But, they also drew with Costa Rica. Heck, they allowed Costa Rica to score a couple of goals.

I think the dog has it in this matchup.

Pick: Sweden

Colombia +317 vs England +113
Draw +223
Total 2 Over Even/Under -115

England rested their Top 10 in the 0 to 1 loss to Belgium. It should pay huge dividends on July 3, right? After all, rest is a key factor when trying to win a soccer tournament.

However, although rest is a key factor, so is momentum. England won’t have it on July 3. Colombia will. The Colombians beat Poland 3 to 0 in their second group stage game. They beat Senegal 1 to 0 in their third group stage game.

Colombia is on fire. They’ve got a big shot to upset England.

Pick: Columbia
